citation DIN 1505 Teil 2 or DIN ISO 690

Question

I am using texmaker under Ubuntu. I need to use DIN 1505 Teil 2 or DIN ISO 690 for bibliography. Which means in the text and for referencing a citation I want to have [Author name, year]. At the time it shows me numbers. for example:

I want to use this[writer,2015].

at the time it looks like: I do not want this[1]. My bibliography is in a biblio.bib file, and the tex file looks like:

\usepackage{natbib}
 .
 .
 .
 .
\bibliographystyle{plainnat}
\bibliography{biblio}
\end{document}

\bibliographystyle{alpha}? In case you are german speaking: wichtige Hinweise zur Erstellung von Literaturverzeichnissen. — Johannes_B, Mar 30 '15 at 12:28

There is the dinat style for natbib which apparently is no longer supported and natdin is preferred (p. 15 in l2tabu) here: https://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/biblio/bibtex/contrib/german/din1505.

I have removed the TeXmaker tag (the editor has no bearing on the bibliography style) and the biblatex tag (for now) since you seem to be using natbib/normal BibTeX .bst styles. — moewe, Mar 30 '15 at 12:37
thanks a lot. If I have understand it correctly, I need to put natdin somewhere in latex path. Do you know how I can do it under ubuntu 14.04? — Iman, Mar 30 '15 at 12:45
Did you install TeXLive via the package manager or did you get a vanilla TeXLive which is highly recommended over the version from the package sources? Please see Best way to install packages for TeXLive in Ubuntu? in the former case. — moewe, Mar 30 '15 at 12:58
grate information. I updated my texLive with synaptic and used dinat style as you said. It works perfectly. — Iman, Mar 30 '15 at 15:30

As far as classic BibTeX styles go, you could use natdin with natbib (l2tabu prefers using natdin over dinat, see p. 15.) or any of the other styles of din-1505.

There are also the .bst styles of the germbib bundle, those styles need to be used with the bibgerm package which is also part of the bundle. (See here)

If you want to use biblatex, you can use either BibLaTeX-DIN1505 or biblatex-iso690, both of which are not on CTAN as far as I know.
